This is rather interesting seeing as how Nvidia and AMD alwasy seemed to run hand-in-hand. If they do it right, AMD should have some kickass boards/cpu/vid combos coming out in the near future.

The one I've had for about 3 years now has run flawlessly, and runs everything up to and including BF2. It is a "Pro" model card, though. | ||

Registered Member #14 Joined: Sat Dec 20 2003Location: Ontario, Canada Posts: 2646 | Well, I've had nothing BUT trouble with my ATI 9800-PRO, I've replaced mb's and psu's just to keep it happy (at the time it far cheaper to do that than get a new card). The card has finally heaved its last I think - getting loads of VPU recovery errors on it.....so its looks like upgrade time again - $1,250 worth - and thats only the system guts. Won't be a power horse, but its a solid gaming machine. Then if AMD and ATI get their act together, maybe a kickass gaming computer in a couple years. | ||

It runs on an Asus "Deluxe" mb with the Nvidia chipset, that was pretty prime at the time I put the system together. Never had a problem with either (touch wood). When I bought the 9600 Pro, I read mixed reviews on the 9800 Pro, that's why I went with the older (more reliable, apparently) card. Hmm....  ....Maybe I got the last of the really good batch of cards from ATI.  | ||
